Tilda Swinton's White Witch costume from Narnia's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe on display...

With the weather turning wintery, I thought that this 'White Witch' costume from the film adaptation of C. S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe would be the perfect choice. In the live-action fantasy movie from 2005, Tilda Swinton played 'Jadis the White Witch', who holds the magical land of Narnia under a spell of an eternal winter.

This frosty Jadis costume was photographed on display at Disney's D23 Expo on August 23, 2019, as part of the Walt Disney Archives Heroes & Villains costume exhibit.

Isis Mussenden was Costume Designer on the film and this dress was created with the help of a textile artist to resemble a glacier cracking with its ice-inspired fabric and lace.

Be sure to also check out this other White Witch costume worn by Tilda Swinton in the movie and her chariot on display, plus more even movie costumes from The Chronicles of Narnia.

Tilda Swinton's Madame Blanc movie costume from Suspiria on display...

To celebrate Tilda Swinton's birthday I thought I'd share her screen-worn costume from 2018's supernatural horror, Suspiria. Luca Guadagnino's film is inspired by the 1977 Italian film of the same name and sees an American dancer (Dakota Johnson) enroll in a prestigious dance academy in Berlin run by a coven of witches. Tilda Swinton's 'Madame Blanc' is the lead choreographer and a high-ranking leader of the supernatural clandestine coven.

This free-flowing movie costume was photographed on display at The Horror Show exhibition at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles on October 4, 2026.

Giulia Piersanti is Costume Designer on Director Luca Guadagnino's psychological horror film.

Madame Blanc's glamorous look resembles religious vestments and identifies her as one of the leading figures in the coven's ancient hierarchy.

The French Dispatch Exhibition of sets, models, costumes in props in London - Part 2...

Here are more costumes and props from Wes Anderson's new movie, The French Dispatch, on display at a temporary exhibition and photographed at the 180 Studios on the Strand, London on October 25, 2021. The anthology film tells a number of stories about the people, who work at the French outpost of an American newspaper (inspired by The New Yorker magazine), and the subjects they write about. This collection of screen-used gems are from 'The Concrete Masterpiece' story, about a mentally disturbed artist serving a prison sentence for murder.

In the film, Tilda Swinton narrates the story as 'J.K.L. Berensen', a writer and lecturer, inspired by the famous writer/editor and "art talker", Rosamund Bernier.

Milena Canonero was Costumer Designer on the feature and you can also see her Oscar-winning costumes from The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Wes Anderson certainly loves using miniature models in his films, and these planes that split in half to reveal a cross section of the passengers, crew and cargo within, is no exception.

This ticketed exhibition is open until November 14, 2021. If you're a fan of the movie, be sure to check out more costumes, props and models from The French Dispatch on display.
